In this episode of Workflows, host Scott Wyden Kivowitz welcomes photographer and business mentor Alora Rachelle for a fresh, honest conversation about sustainable growth, tech, and changing your mindset for long-term success.

Alora Rachelle is a wedding photographer turned business strategist who believes marketing, and sales are essential to scaling a profitable business. In two years of going full-time, she took her business from $10,000 to $100,000 using the strategies she teaches.

Alora reveals how she organizes her business for creative freedom, why she left ChatGPT for Claude, and the surprising workflow tweaks that make the biggest impact. Explore her real-world struggles and wins as she shares tools, marketing systems, and mindset shifts every photographer should know.

"If you want something, you're just gonna look it up... It does pay off in the long run. Once you're on that, everyone wants to be in the first page of Google. It's a big deal, you know." – Alora Rachelle
